The 2010 Canadian Grand Prix (formally the Formula 1 Grand Prix du Canada 2010)[2] was the eighth round of the 2010 Formula One season. It was held in Montreal, Quebec, Canada at the Circuit Gilles Villeneuve on 13 June 2010.[3] This was the first Grand Prix to be held on the North American continent since the 2008 Canadian Grand Prix. The race was won by McLaren driver Lewis Hamilton, his second Canadian Grand Prix victory, ahead of teammate Jenson Button and Ferrari driver Fernando Alonso.

This was McLaren's last 1-2 finish until the 2021 Italian Grand Prix and the last one-two finish between British drivers until the 2022 São Paulo Grand Prix.
